    <p>I have two tables.</p> <p>The finalists table which lists the finalists with fields such as ID, Name. The Votes table which stores the votes for those finalists. One row in the vote tables where the field "confirmed" is yes means one vote.</p> <p>To get the number of votes for a particular finalist I run</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;db-&gt;where('finalist_id', $finalist_id); $this-&gt;db-&gt;where('confirmed', 'yes'); $query = $this-&gt;db-&gt;get('votes'); return $query-&gt;num_rows(); </code></pre> <p>And that gets me the number of rows.(votes)</p> <p>Now what I want to do is loop through my finalists and list their name, their ID and their number of votes but I am struggling to write the code in my controller.</p> <p>My controller :</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;load-&gt;database(); $query = $this-&gt;db-&gt;get('finalists'); $data['finalists'] = $query-&gt;result_array(); $this-&gt;db-&gt;where('finalist_id', $finalist-&gt;id); $this-&gt;db-&gt;where('confirmed', 'yes'); $query = $this-&gt;db-&gt;get('votes') $data['votes'] = $query-&gt;result_array(); $this-&gt;template -&gt;build('admin/listing', $data); </code></pre> <p>My view:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php foreach ($finalists as $finalist): ?&gt; &lt;li&gt;ID:&lt;?php echo $finalist['id'] ?&gt;, Name:&lt;?php echo $finalist['name'] ?&gt;, votes:&lt;?php echo $finalist['votes'] ?&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;?php endforeach ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>SO what I am trying to achieve is to add the key vote and its result to the array $finalists - obviously to the right one, and I can't get my head around how to do that.</p> <p>I suppose I should loop through the finalists and somehow insert the result of the query for that particular finalist.</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

    1. COYou don't want to loop and make a query for every finalist. What you need to learn how to do is use table `JOIN` and the `SUM()` function in conjunction with `GROUP BY`. This can allow you to get your entire result set in a single query. Though I don't use codeigniter, I am sure there is documentation out there on how to do this.

    2. COThe thing is that the data I need from one of the tables is only the number of rows returned by a particular query. I think you're right that it must be possible in a single query but I have no idea how. I thought about looping through the results of the finalists query and query the number of rows for each ID so it can be pushed into the $data array along with the finalists other details.

    3. COWork on the raw SQL query first, then you can figure out how to implement in codeigniter second. You have to have an understanding of the join first. Something like `SELECT f.id, f.name, COUNT(v.confirmed) AS votes FROM finalists AS f INNER JOIN votes AS v on f.id = v.finalist_id WHERE v.confirmed = 'yes' GROUP BY f.id` should get you started.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
